Want Eggdrop to Learn New Users

[smash_xtegg]

I need to know how to make my eggdrop do these taskes when someone joins
Learn them (add them to the user file)
set a flag
ask them for a password
on every user that joins the channel can it be done?

a solution could be the following:set learn new users and set the right default flags for new users in the eggdrop conf file,
use an advert .tcl to send a on-join message like "/msg botnik hello to register. then /msg botnick pass password".
et voila!

that would kinda work
but there has gotta be a way to set the bot to learn them automaticly

Smash_egg, my suggestion is not to automatically have users added to your bot's database.
Any such user would thus get automatically some sort of access to your bot (/msg bot help etc...).
Depending on the flags you hand out by default to those users, some punishments in scripts may stop working.
Your bot may get vulnerable to sorts of flooding/abuse etc...

If eggdrop's *msg:hello is ok with you, a straight forward solution is to bind JOIN to eggdrop default *msg:hello command:

Code: Select all

# "Set learn-users 1" in main config file

bind join - * autolearnusers

proc autolearnusers { nick uhost hand chan } {
   # skip if known nick ...
   if {[string compare $hand "*"] != 0} { return }
   # ... else use eggdrop's default "*msg:hello" to learn a new user
   *msg:hello $nick $uhost $hand hello
}

It may sound a bit paranoid but while running this code, it may be better to unbind all unrelevant MSG bindings, disallow +o for your bot, have sufficient flood protection etc...

that works thankyou and security is not an issue the defualt flag is a custom one so a message pertaining to a certin channel is sent to them just once
